    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    In those instances, I'd probably go for a walk to the galley - you'd probably find another crew member who would be glad to bring you a drink etc. (I'd probably even hint in a gentle and polite manner that I didn't want to interupt the CSM - the crew would be aware where their manager is...

    Tripcase App being Discontinued

    I came here to see other’s reactions to the email notification. My va flights have always appeared automatically. I just added some flights manually for an upcoming trip and I always appreciate the notifications - often arrive earlier than the airline notice, as others have noted. Glad to...

    Classic plus to the US - cheaper to start flight in Auckland than Sydney.

    Yes you’d have to make your way to Auckland to start the journey. People have done it…

    Article: Qantas Considers Bringing Call Centres Back to Australia

    I know it’s the QF Call Centre thread, but in comparison, I nearly always have pleasant and productive calls to the VA call centre, which I presume (by accent) is in MNL. Even if I am put through to the Business Flyer section, the agents are always competent to perform the necessary actions. (Of...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

    I don't particularly mind what other people do with information/data they have access to and where they share that info. When you work at an airport for the airport owner (which is an assumption I've made about where aegeanflyer is working, but I might be wrong), then you have access to...

    New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

    I'd hate to be a party-pooper, but if you work at Perth Airport, you have access to commercially-senstive information, which you probably should be careful what you share in a public forum. Pax numbers on flights is quite a commercially-sensitive topic - perhaps review your confidentiality...

    Qantas introducing Travel Fund

    Qantas has announced a Travel Fund for Business Reward accounts. Similar to VA's Travel Bank, seems you can cancel fares to the Travel Fund and then have flexibility to use those funds at a later time in a flexible manner, without the previous PNR re-book restrictions. It will be interesting...

    A Boyhood Dream Fulfilled: Space-Geek Tour of the USA

    Just take the reports along to the dinner and have the other members help you grade your students. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that approach…? Great TR. you brought back memories of my trip to DC & NYC 10 years ago. (How time flies).

    My wife’s uncle always gifts what he calls “Universal Gift Vouchers”… we commonly refer to it as “Cash”. 😂

    Can you bring your own food into airport lounges?

    I had the BNE VA Lounge entry staff tell me once that food from outside the lounge was not permitted, and I seem to recall this may have been during covid when the food offerings in the lounge were very slim. I can’t recall what my reaction was to them, but I’d never heard such a rule before and...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I think what some people fail to appreciate is the potential “silent” 1000 are fed up with “woke vegan” everything… so if the question was “do you want to get rid of vegan chocolate”, of course the people who don’t feel they are allowed to loudly express their anti-woke opinions are going to...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    CNS-BNE on Saturday 21st. Chicken something. Tasted nice though the rice was a bit dry and wasn’t quite enough of the yoghurt to add to the moisture of the dish overall. But it was pleasant enough. Other option was veggie pasta something with optional chicken. The two ppl in 2A&C who ordered...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I always choose 1A & 1C on the basis that I think, as two Platinums, there’s a higher chance we will be served first, and fairly sure it’s happened that way. Sometimes I’d prefer to choose row 2 so not to be at the bulkhead, but don’t want to risk the roulette of whether our status on fare...
